Notes:
John McLaughlin's exploration of Middle Eastern and Indian musical themes has been a significant aspect of his career. While his focus has been more on Indian classical music, particularly through his work with Shakti, McLaughlin has incorporated elements that share similarities with Middle Eastern musical traditions. His use of modal scales, complex rhythmic patterns, and improvisational techniques often resonates with both Indian and Middle Eastern musical concepts. McLaughlin's fusion approach has created a unique bridge between Western jazz, Indian classical music, and elements of Middle Eastern music.
